Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

Paddle wheel 1 consists of a hub 2 carrying four paddles 3. Paddles 3 are embedded in hub 2 which is indented 4 at the exit point on either side of paddles 3. Indentation 4 follows the natural bending line of the flexible paddles. As a result, the paddle wheel may be used in both rotational directions. For centering and fixing the paddles in the hub, the latter is subdivided into an even number of segments 5. A continuous strip, forming two paddles and held in place by winding forces, is wound around every other segment 5. The winding forces may be increased by indenting the strip in the hub region.

Paddle Wheel

Paddle wheel 1 consists of a hub 2 carrying four paddles 3. Paddles 3 are
embedded in hub 2 which is indented 4 at the exit point on either side of paddles 3. Indentation 4 follows the natural bending line of the flexible paddles. As a
result, the paddle wheel may be used in both rotational directions. For centering
and fixing the paddles in the hub, the latter is subdivided into an even number of
segments 5. A continuous strip, forming two paddles and held in place by
winding forces, is wound around every other segment 5. The winding forces may
be increased by indenting the strip in the hub region.

If the hub is subdivided into an odd number of segments 5, each paddle is
formed by two strips.
